During the second world war 1939 to 1945, The UK..Germany..Russia..Italy..Japan and America all had their factories working flat out 24/7, making bombs, armaments, ammunition, guns, aircrafts, tanks, etc etc etc...All of those factories were using coal as the main energy supplier, which is a very rich source of CO2...The actual carbon emissions during those six years of war remained at a medium amount and at a stable level...

I have to say that it does read like a bad Al Gore pamphlet. I don't think it is real. I could write a better post apocalyptic yarn..but there are those who believe that global warming can lead to higher temperature increases over the next century. A two degree change could trigger some pretty bad stuff...but not enough to dry up all the water on Earth. If anything, rising global temperatures could cause the level of the Earths oceans to rise about 30 feet or so above current levels. Somebody go find some Spice...cuz this reads like Dune to me.
